This is from Fongy on Bikersweb, but as some of you don't post there and vice versa, I thought I'd pop this info on here...
"As some of you may know I am a tattooist in Cambridge....I work at Tattoo Crazy and we have two studios...one of which is in march.....on the 21st december the march studio was broken into....early hours they reckon...and probably disturbed as some of the gear was unplugged and bagged and ready to go..but had been left behind...however.....a lot of stuff was still taken....to the value of around £8,000....
to say we are all naffed off is an understatement.....there are 3 artists there and all the tattoo machines were stolen.....some have serial numbers on...some are left handed use only.....other items stolen were...
2 sets of inks..
power packs..( eikons to those in the know )
piercing jewellery
piercing clamps
studex jewellery and piercing guns...
and all the tattoo machines......
This is a long shot...but...if anybody gets offered any tattoo machines or gear ....give us a thought....they could be ours....tattoo machines are not only expensive but sentimental..they become part of who you are...you run them in and they are an extension of you as an artist.....
there is a reward offered by the studio for the return of the gear...even if it's just the machines....which is mainly what we want back...or if you are offered dodgy tattoos by unknown artists...in the back bedroom etc...think twice...not only can they scar you for life because they dont know what they are doing....but you be open to all kinds of infection.....
I have photos of what the machines looks like incase anyone is offered anything......I know it's a shot in the dark but you never know...
cheers peeps...and heres to a better more prosperous and safe and healthy new year..
Fongy......want to catch the thieving scum bastids and tattoo thief on their foreheads infront of an audience.... "
